Definitions

  • This invention relates to a protective carrier especially adapted for use in conjunction with a fiber optic cable.
  • a principal object of the invention is to provide a fiber optic protective carrier which overcomes such disadvantages.
  • a fiber optic protective carrier constructed in accordance with the invention comprises two container halves 1 and 2 which, when fused or welded to one another, form a hollow casing or container having a front wall 3 and a rear wall 4 .
  • the casing half 1 has a marginal flange 5 and the casing half 2 has a similar flange 6 engageable with one another when the halves are placed in confronting relation so as to be welded or otherwise secured to one another to form the hollow casing.
  • the casing half 1 is formed with two diagonally spaced inlet portions 7 and 8
  • the casing half 2 is provided with similar inlet portions 9 and 10 which, when the casing halves are secured to one another, form inwardly tapering passages through the casing.
  • the casing half 1 has an opening 11 therein for the accommodation of a cylindrical, rotatable crank body 12 having at one side a crank arm 13 and at the opposite side three circumferentially spaced spindles 14 .
  • the casing half 1 also has a cylindrical cavity 15 therein in which is accommodated a substantially cylindrical rotor 16 having a cylindrical recess 17 in one face thereof. At the center of the recess is a hub 18 which accommodates a stub 19 fixed on the inner face of the back wall 4 of the casing half 2 so as to mount the rotor 16 for rotation about the axis formed by the hub.
  • the guide 19 Accommodated in the recess 17 is an S-shaped guide 19 for a fiber optic cable 20 .
  • the guide comprises a pair of spaced apart, parallel walls 21 secured to the base of the cavity 17 .
  • the walls 21 together define a curvilinear guide channel 22 open at both ends.
  • the curvatures of the channel 22 have radii preferably greater than the minimum required to cause attenuation of the signal carried by the cable.
  • the hub 18 spans the channel 22 , but does not obstruct the latter.
  • the base of the cavity forms a bottom for the channel.
  • Transmission means 34 is provided for effecting rotation of the rotor 16 in response to rotation of the crank body 12 .
  • the transmission means comprises a ring gear 35 accommodated in an opening 36 in the front wall 3 of the casing half 1 .
  • the wall of the opening and the periphery of the gear are provided with interengaging projections 37 and complementary grooves.
  • the terminations 32 and 33 are extended to a position in which they project beyond the edges of the casing, and then placed in the openings at the diagonally spaced corners of the casing.
  • the casing parts then are assembled and the two halves secured to one another so as to form an enclosure for the rotary parts of the assembly and the cable.
  • the rotor 16 may be rotated via the crank 13 in such direction as to cause the terminations 32 and 33 to be accommodated in the tapered openings.
